Long hair can be pulled back in a low or medium-high ponytail with loose strands to frame the face.

One of our most favorite blonde anime guy characters with long hair. For men with long blonde hair, opt for highlights to brighten up what you already have. Then wear your hair loose for a relaxed style.

The top half of Kurama Yoko’s hair is pulled back in a pony while the bottom half is left loose. Bangs, which come past the eyebrows, are long and choppy.

4. Inuyasha

Anime character with long white hair and red kimono.

To copy Inuyasha’s hairstyle, hair should come past the shoulders. Create the bangs by parting them in the curtain style so they aren’t perfectly spread out. Wear the whole style loose.

 

5. Kotaro Katsura

Anime man with long dark hair holding umbrella.

For men with long brunette hair, a simple relaxed style like Kotaro Katsura’s is low maintenance and just asks for a comb through before beginning the day.

 

6. Neji Hyuuga 

Anime character with black hair and headband in martial arts stance.

If you like Neji’s hairstyle, pull your long hair back in a loose low ponytail and secure an elastic at the very end. A headband can be worn at the forehead or you can opt-out of that accessory.

 

7. Shikamaru Nara 

Illustration of a young man in a dark forest.

Prefer to keep your hair out of the way? Wear it up in a man bun or ponytail like Shikamaru. It’s perfect for a workout but easily smoothed back for a more professional look.

 

8. Kuroh Yatogami

Anime girl with long black hair holding hands behind head.

Men who have long hair on the thin side can give it more shape by layering it. The curtain bangs on Kuroh’s oval face also helped to round it out.

 

9. Alto Saotome 

Anime character with long blue hair, futuristic armor, smiling confidently.

One of the most unique long hairstyles we have seen on anime guy. A simple ponytail is all you need to make a statement with long hair, especially when paired with accessories like beaded or braided string for men who prefer the boho vibe.

 

10. Atsushi Murasakibara

Anime character with purple hair and glasses.

If you’re not afraid to try bold colors, a pretty purple is edgy and will make a shoulder-length style with uneven layers and a zigzag part pop.

 

11. Yu Kanda

Thick layered bangs complement a long ponytail. To edge up this hairstyle, ask your barber for a fade or an undercut.
